Vice President-elect Mike Pence and President-elect Donald Trump’s chief of staff Reince Priebus on Nov. 20 addressed Trump’s potential conflicts of interest. Now, policy and ethics experts are scrambling to assess the potential dangers of public rule by a leader with a vast web of private business deals. The self-reported data was unverified by regulators, meaning the reports may not have shown all of Trump’s foreign deals or assets. But the filings, the most comprehensive public documents of Trump’s business empire, largely lack details for many of the companies’ status or ambitions. Trump’s presidential biography on a government website, greatagain.gov, originally included a celebration of Trump’s foreign holdings and “properties around the globe.” That reference has since been removed.
